Who it’s best for

It’s a practical choice for startups with growing cash reserves, established companies managing seasonal fluctuations, nonprofit organizations collecting donations, and professional practices that must preserve liquidity while maximizing yield.

How the account supports your cash strategy

Integrate the Business Money Market Account into your company’s treasury plan to capture idle funds and improve overall return on cash. Use it as a primary operating reserve, a secondary sweep account for excess funds, or for earmarking tax and payroll obligations. With tiered rates, moving marginal cash into the money market account can boost interest income while maintaining ready access for business needs.
